The American people have succeeded in forging one of the worlds most united, democratic and tolerant nations, a fascinating melting-pot of cultures, and the undisputed military and economic heavyweight of the world.

Tourism is focused mainly in the great cities such as New York and Washington, as well as sunshine states such as California, Florida and Hawaii where millions of tourists congregate each year to enjoy the fine beaches, natural wonders and man-made attractions such as Disneyland, Universal Studios and Hollywood. Too many miss out on the mind-blowing landscapes of the interior which can found in the wealth of magnificent National Parks like Yosemite, Yellowstone and the Adirondacks, as well as spectacular sights like the Grand Canyon and the Rocky Mountains. With all this on their doorstep, it's easy to understand why most Americans have never bothered getting a passport.

Customers on South African Airways flights in 2010 can expect to be served some of South Africa's finest wines after a rigorous selection process in late August 2009 assisted by respected industry experts.

For 23 years, South African Airways has been supporting the South African wine industry through the airline's annual selection process. Local producers are given the opportunity to enter their wines into the process and are provided with valuable feedback from the expert panel on the quality of their produce.

This year's selection was one of the most critical in its two and half decade history with wines chosen to be served during South Africa's shining moment -2010- when the country expects a higher volume of visitors.
